Jana Nayagan Crosses Rs 260 Crore Globally Amid Weekday Box Office Decline
Thalapathy Vijay's political action film Jana Nayagan, released on July 23, 2026, has crossed Rs 260 crore globally in eight days, with Rs 153.48 crore net collections in India. Despite a strong opening weekend, the film experienced a steady decline in weekday box office earnings, hitting its lowest single-day collection of Rs 3.98 crore on Day 8. The film received mixed reviews and faced competition from other releases, while its reported high budget and 'A' certification may have impacted its overall performance.
